The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency have continued an Air Quality Advisory, which is IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM PDT THIS EVENING. An Air Quality Advisory for Ozone remains in effect. High levels of ozone in the lower atmosphere in the region combined with forecasted conditions will cause air quality to reach unhealthy levels at times through this evening. Pollutants in smoke can cause burning eyes, runny nose, aggravate heart and lung diseases, and aggravate other serious health problems. Limit outdoor activities and keep children indoors if it is smoky. Please follow medical advice if you have a heart or lung condition.

A surge of deep monsoonal moisture combined with a slow-moving upper trough will bring periods of heavy showers and thunderstorms across the region. This airmass contains anomalously high moisture content, supporting the potential for excessive rainfall. Flash flooding will be possible, especially in steep terrain, narrow canyons, and near recent burn scars where soils are less able to absorb rainfall. The greatest risk will be Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening as repeated rounds of storms move through. * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Portions of Idaho, including the following areas, Boise Mountains, Camas Prairie, Lower Treasure Valley, Owyhee Mountains, Southern Twin Falls County, Southwest Highlands, Upper Treasure Valley, Upper Weiser River, West Central Mountains and Western Magic Valley. Portions of Oregon, including the following areas, Baker County, Harney County, Malheur County and Oregon Lower Treasure Valley. * WHEN...From Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening. * IMPACTS...Heavy rainfall could trigger flash flooding or debris flows in and near recent wildfire burn scars. In addition urban street flooding is possible with the stronger storms. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - https://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
